Cancer Protein Description

This report provides a detailed description of a selected cancer protein with information collected from various sources, including UniProt, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute’s Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC), and the Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology.


Protein Name: PDS5B
Gene Name: PDS5B
Protein Full Name: Sister chromatid cohesion protein PDS5 homolog B
Alias: Androgen-induced proliferation inhibitor; Androgen-induced shutoff 3; AS3; CG008; FLJ23236; KIAA0979; Sister chromatid cohesion protein PDS5 homolog B: Androgen-induced proliferation inhibitor: Androgen-induced prostate proliferative shutoff-associated protein AS3: Sister chromatid cohesion protein PDS5 homolog B: Androgen-induced proliferation inhibitor: Androgen-induced prostate proliferative shutoff-associated protein AS3
Mass (Da): 164667
Number AA: 1447
UniProt ID: Q9NTI5
Locus ID: 23047
COSMIC ID: PDS5B
Gene location on chromosome: 13q13.1
Cancer protein type: TSP?
Effect of cancer mutation on protein: UNCLEAR
Effect of active protein on cancer: UNCLEAR
Number of cancer specimens: 19713
